THE COLORED TROOPS.
Their Peculiar Actions Before and After
the Petersburg Battle.

the Petersburg Battle.
Any striking event or piece of news
was usually eagerly discussed by the
white troops, and III the ranks military
critics were rs plenty and perhaps
more volublc than among the officers.
No so with the blacks; important news
after the bare announcement, was usu-
ally followed by long silence. They
sat about in groups, "studying," rs
they called it. They waited, like the
Quakcrs, for the spirit to move; when
the spirit moved, one of their singers
would uplift Il mighty voice, like u bard
of old, in u wild sort of chant. II lie
did not strike sympathetic chord in
his hearers, if they did not find in his
uttcrancc the exponent of their idea,
he would sing itagain and again. alter
ing sometimes the words, or more of
ten the music. If his changes met
general acceptance, one voice after an-
other would chime in; rough har-
mony of three parts would add itself;
other groups would join his; and tho
song became the song of the command.
The night we learned that we were
TO lead the charge (on the explosion of
the Petersburg mine) the news filled
them too full for ordinary uttcrancc.
The joyous negro guflaw always break
ing out about the campfire ceased.
They formed circles and were sitting
ON the ground intcntly and solcmnly
studying" AT last a heavy voice be-
began to sing, "Wc-e looks like
mc-cn a-a marchin' on, we looks Like
mcn-cr-war." Over and over again he
sang it, making slight changes. The
rest watched him intently; no sign of
approval or disapproval escaped their
lips, or appeared on their faces. All
at once, when his refrain had struck
the right response in their hearts, his
group took it up, and shortly half II
